I already posted my first blue hiking post yesterday, see bellow:

I will now continue with the second part. I’ve been hiking a lot for years, but so far I’ve had a sense of lack. My tours took place spontaneously, without planning, and were often unpleasantly surprised. Yesterday was not without problems either, but I am still satisfied. Now I’m sitting at home in front of the computer and resting my legs because my muscles are fed up with the forced fast walking yesterday.
You can read about the National Blue Track in my previous post and find plenty of other useful material about it.
Accurate pre-planning has not been one of my strengths so far. Sure, there’s a hunting season from fall to spring, and that needs to be taken into account as well as changes in routes.
The line of usual blue signs at the valley dam was suddenly interrupted as I was following the usual route I had learned in the spring.
Where did the signs go? Then I saw some suspicious gray rectangles on the trees and a sign saying it was forbidden to enter hunting area. Where did the signs go? Then I saw some suspicious gray rectangles on the trees and a sign saying it was forbidden to enter hunting grounds.
Disappointed, I continued on, this time on an asphalt road, to the nearest bus stop, where I waited for almost an hour and a half. On the hard ground, my heels hurt a lot, I did the last half mile limping. There were no open pubs or restaurants in the village, so I couldn't go to the toilet.
These inconveniences were amply compensated by the beautiful, clean and warm weather. I didn't need a coat or beaney either.
The melted snow formed large puddles.
I also met Buddha and Christmas elves!
I haven’t met anyone except a man walking a dog.
I wasn't that muddy either
There were plenty of gulls on the lake
This is one of the two sluices.
Colors are beautiful
Thin ice broke into small pieces
The photos were taken with my Lumix FZ82.
To be continued!
